Argentina came agonisingly close to snaring just their third Rugby Championship victory when they led South Africa in Nelspruit last weekend, but 17 points in the last nine minutes saw the hosts edge home. The Pumas will be desperate to convert their dominance into a result in the return fixture in Salta on Saturday. Its surely only a matter of time before this wobbly Springbok side sees their luck run out.Team newsArgentinaJoaquin Tuculet, Santiago Cordero, Matias Orlando, Juan Martin Hernandez, Manuel Montero, Nicolas Sanchez, Martin Landajo; Nahuel Tetaz Chaparro, Agustin Creevy (c), Ramiro Herrera, Matias Alemanno, Tomas Lavanini, Pablo Matera, Juan Manuel Leguizamon, Facundo Isa.Replacements: Julian Montoya, Felipe Arregui, Enrique Pieretto, Guido Petti, Javier Ortega Desio, Tomas Cubelli, Santiago Gonzalez Iglesias, Lucas González AmorosinoPumas coach Daniel Hourcade has named an unchanged XV after the near-miss in Nelspruit a week ago. There is only one change among the replacements, with utility back Lucas Gonzalez Amorosino coming in for Ramiro Moyano.South AfricaJohan Goosen, Ruan Combrink, Lionel Mapoe, Damian de Allende, Bryan Habana, Elton Jantjies, Faf de Klerk; Tendai Mtawarira, Adriaan Strauss (c), Vincent Koch, Eben Etzebeth, Lood de Jager, Francois Louw, Oupa Mahoje, Warren WhiteleyReplacements: Bongi Mbonambi, Steven Kitshoff, Lourens Adriaanse, Pieter-Steph du Toit, Jaco Kriel, Rudy Paige, Morne Steyn, Jesse Kriel.Tendai Mtawarira will equal Os du Randts record as South Africas most-capped prop when he runs out in Salta this weekend. The man whose nickname is The Beast will make his 80th appearance in the famous green jersey, having made his debut back in 2008. Joining him in the front-row is the only new face in the XV, with Vincent Koch coming in for the injured Julian Redelinghuys.Key match-up: Facundo Isa vs. Warren WhitelyThe two No. 8s were key men in last Saturdays opening Rugby Championship tussle. At just 22-years-old, the Argentinian juggernaut Isa looked a dangerous international operator and one that could grace most XVs in world rugby. Opposite him will be Whiteley, South Africas hero in Nelspruit. The Lions captain powered over for the match-winning try, but will be hoping no such dramatics are needed for victory on Saturday.Key stats*South Africa and Argentina have met eight times in the Rugby Championship so far. The Springboks have won six, drawn one, and lost once -- in Durban last year.*Eben Etzebeth is just 24-years-old, but the giant South Africa lock will play in his 26th consecutive Test match this Saturday.*Sixty percent of the South African squad are yet to play a Test in Argentina, while two -- Lourens Adriaanse and Bongi Mbonambi -- have never faced the Pumas before on any territory.WeatherIt should be a cool evening in Salta by kick-off on Saturday, with temperatures of around 17 degrees celsius forecast. There is likely to be a light breeze, but nothing much to trouble the kickers.Unibet oddsUnibet have an Argentina win priced at 27/20, while South Africa are given at 3/5. A draw is priced at 20/1.PredictionSouth Africa are yet to hit their stride under new coach Allister Coetzee and were 10 minutes away from an embarrassing home defeat last weekend. Theyll go to Argentina knowing they have to improve if they are to sneak a win. The Pumas boast some genuine quality in their ranks, with Isa and fly-half Nicolas Sanchez holding their own against the best in the world. If they can take an early lead, home advantage might be enough to see them through.Argentina by six. http://www.brownsrookiestore.com/Browns-Jamie-Meder-Jersey/ .

At a news conference Tuesday where it was thought that the fiery Schallibaum may be shown the door after a dismal finish to the Major League Soccer season, team president Joey Saputo said no decision has been made on whether the Swiss Volcano will be back in 2014. NEW YORK -- Bruce Arena the sequel faces a more skeptical audience than the original.Arena was celebrated for coaching the Americans to the 2002 World Cup quarterfinals, and fired four years later after they failed to advance past the first round.Bob Bradley and Jurgen Klinsmann led the U.S. to the round of 16 at the last two World Cups, and a second-round appearance is pretty much a minimum accomplishment for an American coach these days as a maturing fan base has increased expectations exponentially.I dont think theres any doubt that pressure has increased on everyone involved in the game, whether thats players, coaches, administrators, leaders or anything else, U.S. Soccer Federation President Sunil Gulati said Tuesday after replacing Klinsmann with Arena. Changes in technology and the speed of information and social media add the dimension of pressure that wouldnt have been the same for Bruce in his first go-round.And thats not all.Our fans know the game in a way that may not have been the case in such numbers 20 years ago or even 15 years ago, Gulati said. We have more educated, passionate fans with a way to express their views: social media.With five NCAA titles at Virginia, two Major League Soccer championships with D.C. United and three more MLS crowns with the LA Galaxy, the 65-year-old Arena is a proven winner. He was inducted into the U.S. National Soccer Hall of Fame six years ago.But he inherits a roster frequently outmatched, one that appeared dysfunctional in losses to Mexico and Costa Rica opening the final round of World Cup qualifying in North and Central America and the Caribbean.I think U.S. soccer has made great progress, Arena said. I believe since I left in 2006 the pool of players has certainly expanded.Both his World Cup rosters included 12 players from European clubs and 11 from Major League Soccer. The U.S. remains a team partly suffering from jet lag when it gathers.This group will not see each other again until Sunday or Monday before a Friday qualifier in March, captain Michael Bradley said after last weeks 4-0 loss in Costa Rica, whichh led to Klinsmanns firing,Arena will have to juggle his lineup right from the start: midfielder Jermaine Jones and right back Timmy Chandler are suspended for the March 24 home qualifier against Honduras because of yellow-card accumulation.dddddddddddd.Arenas national team was known for emphasis on defense and counterattacks. As he takes over, the priority will be on grinding out wins to wipe out the deficit in the Americans eight remaining games of the hexagonal. The top three teams qualify and the fourth-place finisher advances to a playoff against Asias No. 5 team.If the U.S. wins at home against Honduras, Trinidad and Tobago, Costa Rica and Panama, and picks up a few points on the road, it should qualify for its eighth straight World Cup.The American qualities have certainly been teams that are hard to play against, Arena said. Were traditionally strong in the goal; we have very good goalkeepers. We have some young attacking talent, and we have some experienced players in the midfield. We have to find a way to get the right balance, the right combinations on the field and the right mentality, and well produce a good team. What it looks like in the end, I cant tell you now but Im certain were going to develop a good team.Christian Pulisic, just 18, already has shown himself to be one of the more formidable dribblers on the team, able to get past several defenders. But he still lacks judgment on when to take on the third or fourth defender or to pass.Klinsmann had targeted 18-year-old defender Cameron Carter-Vickers and 20-year-old midfielder Lynden Gooch as players of the future. Coaches -- and fans -- want to look ahead, but Arenas focus will be earning points.Draws at home and losses anywhere usually lead to furious fans.No one likes to face the firing squad, as it were, in terms of media or fans that are upset about something, Gulati said, but thats a natural part of the growth of the game, and that certainly is a very big positive.
